Desde la deforestación –causada en gran medida por la expansión agrícola– en la Amazonía, hasta los devastadores incendios forestales en Canadá, Siberia y muchas otras partes del mundo, la destrucción de los bosques ha sido noticia en todo el mundo en los últimos años.

There is an immense pressure on land in Uganda. The country has a rapidly growing population and is host to the world’s third largest refugee population. Particularly poor people struggle to get access to healthy food. Agriculture practices need to become more efficient and focused on the domestic market. The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) in Uganda works to improve food security in selected areas in the country. Among several food security projects, the EKN works with the LAND-at-scale program to improve land governance.
